Disparations 11

“Disparate times call for disparate measures.” -Mackenzie Wark

Hi friends,

In April Tricycle published Wilderness Birthed The Mind for Earth Day. Our mind was formed by wilderness- what happens when it’s gone?

While wearing my Buddhist hat I also wrote the much lighter The Buddhist Traveller in Vancouver for their summer issue.

In May I wrote Mother Night: We Are What We Pretend To Be where I examine the moral of Vonnegut’s great Nazi novel (according to Vonnegut) and apply it to my own life.

May was the one year anniversary of the start of the Palestinian Great Return March. I wrote a piece in February about it Our Lack of Mourning Is Horrifying in which I ask whether Golda Meir’s famous dictum that we grieve killing more than being killed has become outdated.

Here on Medium, I wrote A Rational Animal On The Vulnerable Earth: Epictetus On The Climate Crisis in which I look at how we might face our apocalyptic times Stoically.

Chazak chazak v’ nithazek- be strong, be strong, and let us strengthen each other!
